12 Warning Light On problem of the 2012 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 11/04/2015

After traveling about 35 minutes, I parked my truck for about an hour. After returning to my vehicle and pulling away, my truck would barely accelerate. I gave it more gas and a large wrench warning light appeared on my dash and soon disappeared. Once it was gone, my speedometer didn't function, the mileage was gone and the air bag disconnect warning light was illuminated. I decided to drive it to my dealership 10 miles away so they could attempt to register a code on their computer as I've had issues with this truck bucking/surging while traveling at highways speeds for 8 months. This is the first time a warning light had illuminated for a problem. In addition to the above issues, I noticed that the signals were not turn off automatically and had to be deactivated manually during turns. After the technician took technical information my vehicle was turned off and on and everything returned to normal. As I mentioned there have been multiple issues with my vehicle and they are getting worse and worse. I see no recalls from Ford on this ecoboost engine.

13 Warning Light On problem of the 2013 Ford F-150

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

The driver side airbag warning light in my 2013 Ford F-150 recently has become and remains constantly lit up. After reading about all of Ford's recent airbag recall issues it seems that the issue with my driver side airbag may be consistent with the defects that led to those recalls by Ford. Upon contacting the Ford dealership where I purchased my truck as well as the Ford customer relations department I was informed that my VIN is not on their current list of vehicles eligible for an airbag recall. This is a very frustrating situation, I do not feel that I or my family are safe while driving my truck after reading what has been published about Ford's suspect airbags. Conveniently this defect became apparent right around the time that my vehicle warranty had expired, the next time I am in the market for a new vehicle I will keep in mind Ford's disregard for consumer safety.
